Quite pleased with the fruits of me labour on me new brakes. Done The Old Way as well, vice, angle grinder, drill, not ordered from the parts catalogue. Hayabusa calipers from Ebay, mounting brackets from Taff's Motorcycle Emporium (me garage).

HD brakes are good, depends on model I guess, all 3 of mine have decent brakes, evo dyna is prob the worst, but triple disc so it's fine.

They're just about adequate, but who the hell wants their brakes to be just adequate? My Twin-Cam Dyna's got a triple disc set-up that's just about up to the job, but I want to put Jap brakes on when I can. One thing you can't have too much of is brakes.

There's more than callipers involved though Shifty, geometry (on a custom) suspension, tyres, riding style and ability, overall weight of vehicle and riders, road surface, temp and weather, not to mention pads and discs hoses and fluid (condition, sizes and types).
Taff rated his old brakes, I'm more than happy with mine, none are merely adequate, try riding a shovel with banana callipers.

And i like to faff about in the garage, good for the soul...

No harm in any of that Taff, made a nice job of it as well, stop tinkering with your bike and you'd die a little inside, that's my take on it anyroads
